This month we are featuring a website called Pandora - the Music Genome Project. Pandora is a great site because it allows you to listen to music and find songs and bands that you would not have thought about or found before. The people behind Pandora have been cataloging music from all around the world since 2000 and putting it into one large database, categorized based on the style of music, the rythmn, etc... As a user you simply enter an artist or song that you like and then Pandora goes to work - it will first play that song or band, and then deliver artists and songs that are similar to that song/artist so you can find and discover new music!
